The Corolla has undergone 12 model changes, but the upcoming version will look (and feel) very different from its predecessors. Toyota offered a sneak peek of the new Corolla in concept form almost a year ago at the Japan Mobility Show. “How should the Corolla evolve?” Toyota CEO Koji Sato asked those in attendance. The Japanese automaker is planning a drastic overhaul, including a sleek new design, high-tech interior, and updated platform.

Toyota, Lexus prepare to launch first 3-row electric SUVs It’s been a little over a month since Lexus unveiled the 2027 TZ, the luxury brand’s first purely electric three-row SUV.
